Posts: 44Real tough to find anything decent for 500 baht during. Maybe Touch Villa at the end of Soi C&N. Not a bad spot. Quite reasonable. I have used it as short time hotel. Slightly higher in price are the hotel and guest houses on Soi San Sabai. Great location, close to Bangla and quiet.

Posts: 1172[QUOTE=Nutzer]Hi,
So I am looking for a cheap girl friendy guest house around patong - from the map and what I know about phuket places like karon, kata or bang tao should suit me - any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
As with Nutzer, I am also looking for cheaper places for accommodations, but after reading all the post I will be staying only in Patong beach. As it will be high season and high rates when I arrive in Mid Nov, any suggestions :name of guesthouses or cheaper hotels along with email address for advance booking will be appreciated. Dont know if it is possible for 500b or under during this time of year (NOV).
The only things I require is that the place be guest friendly and have a private bathroom (not shared like in backpacker dorms).
Thanks all.

Posts: 44Most of the hotels in the Patong area are quiet. You can relax and have a quiet day or evening, then venture into the nightlife of Bangla. Kata, Karon, and Bang Tao are much more quiet and a long ride....at least 200-300 baht each way every time you want to go to Bangla. It all depends on your own particular priorities. For me. Definately Patong.

Posts: 17hotels in karon, kata, bang tao, ...
Hi,
I'm posting in this forum the first time after using you folks as information source quite a while. And my first posting is a simple question; -) But I promise that I will spend some time during (definetly after) my three weeks in phuket to give some detailed updates!
I read the disussion regarding girl friendy hotels. Great stuff - the kind of travel guide you really need (thanks to Craig Less, Hah Baht, Member 1757 and all the others). Maybe I will stay at the summerbreeze for a while - if they are not full end of november to the first week of december.
But I donīt want to live in a zoo for the whole three weeks. I prefer to have it quite and lazy "at home" and to enter the scene just at night. Thatīs how I did it on Samui three times and I want to continue in this way. Also, honestly, I want to dive during the daytime (also my cover story.).
So I am looking for a cheap girl friendy guest house around patong - from the map and what I know about phuket places like karon, kata or bang tao should suit me - any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
P.S. : Maybe the wrong thread, bur here my good experience in Samui. I stayed in Bophut Beach at the Smile House. Bophut is still (was last yeas in Feb) quite - maybe because the beach isnīt that spectacular - and about 20 min with the motorbike to chaweng. Never had problems with girls beeing to far to go and never had problems in Smile House. But I always was decent because the hotel is mainly occupied by couples or families - probably no place for orgies in the pool. Prices had been 1. 000 including breakfast for a clean bungalow.

Addition to the motorcycle discussion. I have DAN (Divers Alert Network) Insurance. Their premium coverage (about $100 a year) includes coverage for non-diving emergencies, including air evacuation to your home country.
Food for thought.

Posts: 1172I didnt see much mention on Phuket town. I will (most likely)be staying in patong beach but will like to see Phuket town also.
1) What baht buses go there and what should it cost?
2) Where do they drop U off in Phuket town(ex: next to tourist info center or what street, next to Hotel X?
3) As I understand action should be cheaper here, any recommended massage places--ie; soapy kind
4) Any local call houses?
Please list current prices if possible. Cheers.

Banana is the best disco I've seen in patong so far. Its decent and clean compared to Crocodile and Tiger. Music is good too. Good place for foreigners to hang out and get some decent looking girls

Posts: 833My two bits
I would like to suggest an additional consideration to Freelers post. A small bike yes. But I prefer a small dirt bike. It makes some of those side roads (down to beaches) quite a bit eaiser. Absolutely no reason for the big "rice rockets" you see some guys on. Think they're compensating for some other shortcoming ?
I've never been stopped, but I do go through the minor hassle of getting an international licsense before leaving.

Tho I've been stopped by Phuket's finest on a couple of occasions, they never asked me for a license. Then again, I only ride the Honda Dreams.
My insurance however, will not pay anything beyond 'life-saving' treatment if I have an accident because I don't have a motorlicense.
